Another thing to consider is that we just got through a PCT dominant era and BLM just got a major rework in it's core gameplay loop and received a decent buff which will inflate the amount of people not playing the class. We need to wait for things to average out before making sweeping claims that SMN needs a adjustment because it's underplayed. Also Red Mage seeing more play than it in progression ALWAYS happens, no point in speculating why that is. This is all to say, that it's too early to say from a skewed sample size in the first place.
Wait for things to average out? Smn has been at the bottom of the barrel this entire expansion so far. All the people I knew who played it have swapped and forgot the job existed which is a damn shame. Its more a sad thing since there won't likely be any changes for it till 8.0
